Today I opened up Teams and was delighted to discover that there is now a "Copy link" option under the three-dot menu on each message. Unfortunately it doesn't work. Upon using it I would have expected to get a URL in my clipboard (pretty safe assumption for a menu item labelled "Copy link") but that's not what happened. Instead, this is what ended up in my clipboard:

I mean, come on. Seriously? What on earth is that? Its just some text that contains the first part of the message. Its not a URL. How you can mess up something so fundamental as a permalink is utterly beyond me.

When I am typing a message, whether in chat or channel, the conversation window scrolls up for as long as I'm typing for. A message this long will scroll up a few dozen lines, while a much longer message will scroll to the beginning of the conversation.

Another member of my team tried to add another channel, but the new channel have an old channel's name. Old channel was deleted, bug appears for each time he try it.
The new channel is unusable, the conversation tab isn't working and no one else.
He see the new channel's name with the last channel's name created (and not working either), and I see his new channel with my last channel's name created and deleted...

The new bugged channel is always added to a link like "1 other channel". Look at the screens.

This is obviously a bug and seems to occur in the current build. When you're typing and the text entry field expands (due to number of characters typed, a big copy/paste, or Shift+Enter), the chat window scrolls up between 1-4 pages.

When a conversation is deleted, it should be removed from the thread. If the conversation is a top level conversation, there's nothing more confusing than to see replies and nothing to put them in context.

The status is not maintained in the MS Teams. If I choose my status to be Do not disturt, it automatically changes to be Online or Away. And most of the time I have to struggle to change my status change in effect.

Also, we have noticed that our Teams statuses are consistently incorrect. Even when some team members are active in Teams they are shown as "away" or "offline". For example, although I can see that my status is "active", my colleagues see my status as "offline".

Randomly, team users sending messages to skype users are sending <div>text text text</div> to the skype users. So on teams it looks fine but for skype users they are seeing <div>'s wrapping the text of the message. It does seem to go away after a few minutes of use.

1. Add a user to a private team
2. Have the user comment on a thread
3. Remove the user's access to the team
4. The removed user will still receive notifications every time a different user replies to that thread.
5. The user will see the preview text in the notification
6. When the user clicks the notification, they do not have access (as expected)

Microsoft - What is wrong with you!?
Release a .exe file to the public and let the enterprise figure out how to deploy it?
Why is there no Windows installer (*.msi)
Why isn't the Windows app in Microsoft Store?
Why isn't there a click-to-run.exe files like all other Office applications?
Why doesn't it follow channel updates like other Office programs (like Monthly or Broad)?

Remove Microsoft Teams from the public and re-do-it correct. This isn't a playground!

I have noticed that in the Activity section you can only see the most recent information (something like the latest 2 weeks, I don't actually know the exact timeframe) if you filter by "Feed" or by "My Activity".

Nonetheless, if you filter by "Team Activity", you can see all the messages shared by the teams from the very creation of the Team. I think this is a good point that should be also applicable to Feed and My Activity in order to make easier to search certain posts and information.

I do not actually understand why history timeframe is different for each option...

Email notifications are not being sent. I’ve tried @ mentions, direct chat, and followed channels, on several accounts. I have my account set to receive Banner and Email notifications (see attached), but I have not received any email notifications in any of those cases.

when adding a sharepoint as a tab it does let you add a sharepoint link which means you can specify a particular folder or file, rather than add the whole library.

when entering this link it does recognise it but click on it does not do nothing and you are forced to click NEXT, on the next page it only gives you the libraries that are available but ther is no way to assign a folder within that library.

Teams has hijacked several keyboard shortcuts as of early december, and will not allow them to be used even in other programmes.
This is particularly annoying as one of them, ctrl+alt+d, is probably the most used shortcut on my keyboard - I use it a couple of times a minute while working. Is it possible to make these keyboard shortcuts reassignable, or at least to stop Teams from interrupting other programmes?

After installing Teams via latest executable, the shortcut for the application is not being added to the App list of Start menu. Even Windows Search cannot find it as an installed app. However, it can be found from installed applications via Settings.

Thanks for raising the feedback. I’m happy to tell you that the build with the fix for this issue is in the process of being rolled out. Once you have received the upgrade to build 28562, you should no longer encounter the issue.
